How To Reset Ram 1500 Air Suspension

Resetting the air suspension system on a RAM 1500 typically involves recalibrating the system using the onboard controls or, in some cases, a diagnostic tool. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Check for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs): If your suspension is malfunctioning, use a code reader or visit a professional mechanic to check for stored error codes. This will help identify any issues.

Reset via Key Cycle:

• Ensure the vehicle is on level ground and in "Park." Turn the ignition to the "Run" position without starting the engine. Wait for the air suspension system to initialize. Turn the ignition off and let the vehicle sit for 2–3 minutes to allow the system to reset.

Use the Ram 1500 Air Suspension Controls:

• Press the air suspension height control button located on the dashboard or center console. Cycle through the height settings (Entry/Exit, Aero, Off-Road 1/2, etc.) to see if the system responds. Sometimes, simply adjusting the height settings can recalibrate the suspension.

Disconnect and Reconnect the Battery:

• Reset Ram 1500 Air Suspension: Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery and leave it disconnected for about 10–15 minutes. This can reset the onboard electronics. Reconnect the battery and turn on the ignition. Check if the system works as expected.

Use a Scan Tool for Calibration:
If the above steps don’t work, a scan tool or specialized diagnostic equipment might be needed to recalibrate the air suspension system. Visit a dealership or a qualified mechanic for assistance.

Inspect the System for Issues:

• Check for leaks in the air lines or struts. Ensure the air compressor is functioning properly. Inspect fuses related to the suspension system.
